There Has Never Been a Better Time to Go Solar

At this time, South Carolina offers an incentive of 25% off the total cost
of a solar energy system. The Federal Government is also offering a tax
credit of 30% off; this equals 55% savings from your total cost when you
include the Federal credit!

The Best Reasons to go Solar

Posted By

Why should you choose to switch your home or business over to solar power?
There are a number of good reasons to make the transition, and it has
never been easier or more affordable than it is now. Let’s examine
just a few of the reasons why you should consider the switch.

Tax benefits

When you install a solar system into your home, you may become eligible
to receive an annual tax credit. Once your system is installed, you have
to get it certified by a company endorsed by the Solar Rating Certification
Corporation or another approved entity, but once you do so, the South
Carolina Energy Office will qualify you for the credit.

Your exact credit will vary depending on the cost of your system and your
annual tax liability. The state of South Carolina will credit you for
up to 25% of the cost of your solar system, up to a maximum of $3,500
or half of your tax liability, whichever is less. And the best news: you
get this credit for a full
ten years after you install the system.

Environmental impact

By switching to solar power, you are helping the environment by reducing
greenhouse emissions. It is estimated that by adding a solar panel system
to your home, you can eliminate 3-4 tons of carbon emissions annually.
By reducing your dependence on the burning of fossil fuels for electricity
(the primary form of electricity generation in the U.S.), you help keep
the world a cleaner and healthier place to live, which will help generations
to come maintain their health and happiness.

Save money

Not only does a solar panel system add significant value to your home,
it can save your household or business money by dramatically reducing
or even completely eliminating your electric bill. Homes with a solar
panel system can potentially remove their dependence on the electrical
grid entirely, even though they may choose not to disconnect from it.
When you combine a lowered utility bill with the available tax credits
discussed earlier, you could see a return on your investment in even less time.
